Screen Actor's Guild (SAG) Announces 2011 Nominees
by Tina Musial
The SAG Award nominees were announced this morning, just days after The Golden Globe Awards nominees were released. And there is a bit of a change from one set of awards to the other. Interesting. Does that mean there aren’t any clear cut winners in any of the movie categories?
Probably not. While it still seems the frontrunners are Natalie Portman for the Black Swan in the Best Actress Category and Colin Firth in The King’s Speech, nothing is every guaranteed until the envelope is opened and a name is read. There have been upsets in the past.
With having some changes in the nominees, it makes for a more exciting awards season too. Just think of all the different dresses you can see and all of the actresses and actors there will be on the Red carpet if they are all mixed up a bit.
Here is a list of the 2011 Screen Actors Guild Awards nominees for movie and TV. Make your predictions at the end!
